Nach einem aufregenden Gastspiel beim 15. Bradford International Filmfe- stival heisst es nun seit ein paar Tagen schon wieder “Willkommen zurück in der Realität!”. Es ist schon erstaunlich, wie schnell man sich daran gewöhnen kann, alte Filme im Originalformat auf einer Riesenbildwand den ganzen Tag lang zu bestaunen und dabei alles an- dere zu vergessen. Fünf Tage lang das “Widescreen Weekend” in Good Old England geniessen zu können, entschä- digt für vieles, was einen bei der tägli- chen Arbeit manchmal die Nerven raubt.

    USA TODAY Life Section D Tuesday, November 22, 2005 Cover Story: http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2005-11-21-huffman_x.htm Felicity Huffman is sitting pretty: Emmy-winning Housewives star ignites Oscar talk for transsexual role By William Keck, USA TODAY By Dan MacMedan, USA TODAY Has it all: An actress for more than twenty years, Felicity Huffman has an Emmy for her role on hit Desperate Housewives, a critically lauded role in the film Transamerica, a famous husband (William H. Macy) and two daughters. 2 WEST HOLLYWOOD Felicity Huffman is on a wild ride. Her ABC show, Desperate Housewives, became hot, hot, hot last season and hasn't lost much steam. She won the Emmy in September over two of her Housewives co-stars. And now she is getting not just critical praise, but also Oscar talk, for her performance in the upcoming film Transamerica, in which she plays Sabrina "Bree" Osbourne, a pre- operative man-to-woman transsexual. After more than 20 years as an actress, this happily married, 42-year-old mother of two is today's "it" girl. "It couldn't happen to a nicer gal," says Housewives creator Marc Cherry. "Felicity is one of those success stories that was waiting to happen." Huffman has enjoyed the kindness of critics before, particularly for her role on Sports Night, an ABC sitcom in the late '90s. And Cherry points out that her stock in Hollywood has been high. "She has always had the respect of this entire industry," he says. But that's nothing like having a hit show and a movie with awards potential, albeit a modestly budgeted, art house-style film.

    Gender and the Family in Contemporary Chinese-Language Film Remakes

    Gender and the family in contemporary Chinese-language film remakes Sarah Woodland BBusMan., BA (Hons) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2016 School of Languages and Cultures 1 Abstract This thesis argues that cinematic remakes in the Chinese cultural context are a far more complex phenomenon than adaptive translation between disparate cultures. While early work conducted on French cinema and recent work on Chinese-language remakes by scholars including Li, Chan and Wang focused primarily on issues of intercultural difference, this thesis looks not only at remaking across cultures, but also at intracultural remakes. In doing so, it moves beyond questions of cultural politics, taking full advantage of the unique opportunity provided by remakes to compare and contrast two versions of the same narrative, and investigates more broadly at the many reasons why changes between a source film and remake might occur. Using gender as a lens through which these changes can be observed, this thesis conducts a comparative analysis of two pairs of intercultural and two pairs of intracultural films, each chapter highlighting a different dimension of remakes, and illustrating how changes in gender representations can be reflective not just of differences in attitudes towards gender across cultures, but also of broader concerns relating to culture, genre, auteurism, politics and temporality. The thesis endeavours to investigate the complexities of remaking processes in a Chinese-language cinematic context, with a view to exploring the ways in which remakes might reflect different perspectives on Chinese society more broadly, through their ability to compel the viewer to reflect not only on the past, by virtue of the relationship with a source text, but also on the present, through the way in which the remake reshapes this text to address its audience.

  • Social Construction of Singapore's Humor Industry

    Social Construction of Singapore's Humor Industry

    Intercultural Communication Studies XIX: 1 2010 Lin & Tan How Cultural and Linguistic Pluralism Shape Humor: Social Construction of Singapore’s Humor Industry Trisha T. C. Lin & Phoebe Shu Wei Tan, Nanyang Technological University This study views Singapore’s humor industry through the theoretic lenses of social construction. It aims to examine the unique characteristics of Singapore humor and investigate how Singapore’s rojak culture (Chua, 1998) and social actors (content creator, market/audience, and government/policy) have shaped the trajectory of the humor industry. Data were collected through interviews with TV comedy producers, stand-up comedians, and theatre practitioners, as well as through three-month-long observation of local comedy scenes. Thematic data analysis (Miles & Huberman, 1994) was used to analyze transcribed interviews, observational field notes, and second-hand documents. The findings show Singapore humor is characterized by over-the-top visuals, frequent use of “Singlish” and Chinese dialects, satires of current affairs, and influences from western culture. The fear of failure, mianzi (Hwang, Francesco & Kessler, 2003), is Singapore’s cultural trait that hinders the development of Singapore’s humor industry. Its humor content creation relies on a formulaic approach, in order to cater for the perceived needs of mainstream audiences. Moreover, the content censorship, which serves as a crucial means to maintain order and harmony in this multicultural and multiracial society, still restricts creativity in humor creation and partially accounts for the lackadaisical Singapore humor industry. Humor is an innately complicated social phenomenon which can be found universally in all cultures, and plays a central, necessary part in social life (Billig, 2005).
